Arduino help!

Before I go to the trubble of writing a small book about my inability to program, I thought I'd ask and see if anyone here on the forums know a little bit of the complexity that is the arduino language.
Hardware? Pfff; Easypeasy. But telling a thing to move a thing by typing on a thing- just no.
I'd love to learn, hopefully some of you can help.

If anyone thinks they can help with arduino stuff comment below! I'll then give the details!
(Help: I have a 'handfull' of servos I need to control)
Thanks!

P.s. move this topic if it's better suited elsewhere.

All I've done is make the color of an RGB LED strip change. I wish I remembered where I found the tutorial I used.

I'd be interested to hear about your project, though!

My need is to control 32 (hopefully 48 or 64) servos. Telling them all to go to fixed points with in 180°(call it a map)
It's hard to explain my plan without showing... Try to imagine a 7in thick chessboard, but not a solid piece of wood. Each square is a colom. Now have a servo control each square colom causing it to rise and fall vertically. Have a single arduino control all the servos with the help of these 16channel pwm boards-

And you have a battle field that changes as you play.

I might make it sound more confusing than it is.
I made 3d models of my prototypes, guess I could try to take pictures of them.

My main problem is learning to program with the 16 channel pwm driver boards.
Hope someone can help!

I think I understand it. That sounds awesome! Show us pictures when you finish, please. :)

Yeah, I'm not sure how to help you. Good luck, though!

Feel free to share information like the type of Arduino board you're using, the number and type of servos, and any specific functionalities or movements you want to achieve. rice purity test
